Roof Moss Removal Services
Roof moss may look harmless, but its impact on your roofing system can be severe and costly. Acting like damp, invasive sponges, moss retains moisture against your shingles, gradually breaking down the protective layers and allowing water to seep into the roofing structure. Over time, this moisture can rot the underlayment and lead to leaks, wood damage, and structural decay. As moss grows and dies, it also sheds debris that rolls into your gutters, contributing to blockages and drainage issues. Left untreated, roof moss accelerates the aging of your roof, leading to premature replacement and expensive repairs. Removing moss and applying a preventative treatment is a simple yet powerful way to preserve your roof, protect your investment, and maintain the integrity of your home.
How I service Roof Moss
I offer two highly effective options for roof moss removal, depending on the condition of your roof and your specific needs.
Option #1 involves the manual removal of moss by hand, using wire brushes, hand scrapers, and careful techniques to eliminate the majority of the moss growth. This method is ideal for roofs with heavy, layered moss and helps preserve the integrity of older roofing materials. Once the bulk of the moss is removed, I apply a biodegradable moss and algae treatment to kill off any remaining spores and prevent regrowth.
Option #2 is pressure washing, which delivers the most complete and thorough roof cleaning possible. This method removes 100% of moss, algae, and stains, leaving your roof looking nearly brand new. It’s especially popular with homeowners preparing to sell their home, as it dramatically boosts curb appeal. I always use reduced-pressure settings and clean in a methodical, controlled manner to protect your shingles and prevent water intrusion—unlike many companies that rush the job and use dangerously high pressure. My focus is always on protecting your roof while achieving excellent results.
